Electric cars are clearly the future of the automobile. All the manufacturers are doing it. Including major sports brands. Ferrari promises a first model for 2025.
When you think of electric cars, you don’t immediately think of sports cars. And yet, some manufacturers have already taken the electric route. Others, not yet. This is the case of Ferrari. The big boss of the brand with the bull thus promises a first electric model for 2025.
Ferrari promises first electric car for 2025
As far as the development of electric vehicles is concerned, we have mainly seen the efforts of mainstream manufacturers, for mass-produced cars. This transition is currently less obvious for supercar manufacturers. That being said, if you’re curious about what an electric Ferrari could look like, you might not have to wait too long.
Indeed, when asked during Ferrari’s annual general meeting, President and CEO John Elkann said the brand would launch its first all-electric model in 2025. In John Elkann’s own words, “you can be sure you will find anything you can imagine, everything the engineers and designers of Maranello can imagine for such a milestone in our history. ”
Innovation should be there
Although the CEO did not go into details of this future all-electric Ferrari, Autocar.co.uk says that a patent discovered last year suggested that it could be a four-wheel-drive vehicle with one motor on each of the wheels. That being said, as with any patent, it’s hard to tell if this is just a simple idea or a real project in development.
However, Ferrari commercial director Enrico Galliera said that when Ferrari entered the electric market, the brand would do so with something completely new.
He said in part: “If we bring new technology, then we will bring something completely new to the market. This is how Ferrari has always worked with new technologies. Evolution is new technologies, that’s what makes Ferrari’s DNA.”
While Ferrari remains out of the grasp of most of us, it will be interesting to see how the bull brand manages to maintain its status in the looming electric world.
